First time impression . My sons in on the spectrum sent ice to many things and dentist is one of his most fears. He was very cooperative and he was relaxed he let doctor do his work and doctor was very patient with him. Office experience always the best. Welcoming and answer any questions I have. read more

The staff has consistently been polite. I truly value the text reminders about appointments, paperwork, and notifications for parking arrival. My daughter's hygienist is very friendly and ensures that she feels at ease with all the procedures that will be done. Dr. Ho is incredibly personable and takes the time to thoroughly explain everything, answer all our questions, and ensure we are comfortable with the recommendations. The office staff is also very welcoming and helpful. read more

This place is ok- for the number of good reviews, I expected a bit more. The whole office is outdated and the exam cushions for the kids are falling apart. While this place rewards the kids with a coin for the toy machines and kids do like the system, it's a tiny choking hazard junk. Drs are fine- techs are ok too but did give me a bit of attitude for declining X-rays on my 3/4 year old. Personally, if my kid has no injury or problem with tooth, an X-ray while usually safe to do, gives no useful information that they would actually need, still would just do cleaning and visual exam. It wouldn't change the course of the exam or have anything to do until child gets older. I didn't like the attitude so I won't be returning. read more

Dr. Richard Lu is AMAZING! My son who is 3 needed crowns due to a medical issue and he was so supportive, considerate, kind, not shaming, and very knowledgeable through the whole process. I could not be happier with the care we received! As long as he is practicing here, I will not have my children see another dentist. Thank you so much! read more

We've been coming here since the practice opened, and it's always been a great experience. Our little one had a cleaning done, and the staff and dental assistants were friendly, patient, and thorough.

Greenhaven Pediatric Dentistry - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Sacramento, California

We had such a great experience at this office. It was my son's first trip to the dentist (he's almost 2 years old), so I was nervous about how he would do. Check-in was quick and the receptionists were nice. We didn't wait very long at all (plus there's a train set and toys to keep the kids occupied). The dental assistant was so friendly and efficient. The dentist was also great with my son, and although he fussed a little during the exam, he left with a smile on his face. He was happy to get stickers and a little goody bag after. Overall, would highly recommend if you're in need of a dentist for your little one. read more

From check-in, to Dentist assistants, to the Dentist always treated with amazing care. They all do so well with kiddos and it puts us at ease as well. So happy to have a great pediatric dentistry for our daughter. read more

If I could triple the amount of stars I would. Dr Lu and his team were a blessing to our daughter. She had several cavities due to health challenges as a toddler. Several dentists we visited insisted on general anesthesia and what we saw as overly aggressive treatment plans. With Dr. Lu we felt heard and were offered a more reasonable plan that avoided general anesthesia. We fully understood that general anesthesia was a possibility but were grateful for him pushing a stepwise approach. He was able to correct the most serious cavities using only inhaled nitrous oxide and, as he predicted, the remaining cavities eventually began correcting themselves with an aggressive at home dental plan With other pediatric dentists we felt dismissed and more like a just a payment rather than considering legitimate concerns with general anesthesia on a child for dental work. Dr. Lu was attentive, confident and able to deliver exactly what our daughter needed. Could not recommend this place more read more

They are all wonderful, the staff is great and my kids love going there! They are able to accommodate all of them first thing in the morning and they get us in and out quickly. One of my sons has had to have some work done and he's never scared when he goes in. I'm glad I found this dentist for them. read more

Recently discovered Greenhaven pediatric dentistry through Yelp and the reviews NEVER lie. This place is wonderful. Most importantly, they were extremely patient with my son and his sensitive gag reflex when taking X-rays. The care he received was friendly and thorough. Most all pediatric offices have some type of entertainment for the kids and this is no different. But a lot of times the wait is forever and nobody thinks about the parents. Not here, an extremely well organized office and check in process made sure we were in, seen right away and out the door. I appreciate how they valued my time just as much as their own. I will be recommending this office to all those seeking dental care for your young ones! read more

we received such excellent care from the staff at Greenhaven Pediatric Dentistry. it was our sons first trip, and we were worried about fears he may have. things went so well!! he cried when we left cause he wanted to stay at the dentist. we look forward to our return visits. read more

Jades favorite place to visit is her Dentist. Amazing bedside manner, excellent costumer service and the front desk staff is great when it comes to accommodating schedules and fitting us in when necessary. Let's not forget the coins my child loves getting her coins when she gets her cleanings. Always a great experience and she finally made the no cavity wall. read more

This was our first visit with our toddler. This was a very efficient visit. No need for intervention at this time so I can't speak to actually needing things done but they were very good with handling my screaming child and doing an exam despite her protests. read more

I've been bringing my kids for care for more than a decade! We love it! Dr.Ho is amazing and she's growing her practice.

Greenhaven Pediatric Dentistry - Cavity-free smile - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Sacramento, California

This time around Dr. Ho was very snappy and abrupt. Because we declined the x-ray, she told us we weren't welcome back. I get that she has a "high standard of care" that she went on and on about but the delivery was aggressive and inappropriate. It was a very unpleasant experience. My child is a toddler, & we started coming to this dental facility when she was maybe 18 months old. My main objective in bringing her to the dentist at a young age is to show her the dentist isn't scary and part of regular care. There's plenty of children/adults that avoid the dentist like the plague. The interaction with Dr. Ho showed me why people do. Once Dr. Ho told me that an xray was required to be a patient at her facility, I 100% understood. She didn't need to layer the negativity on. I am the parent and I have a right to refuse. I did so kindly, I didn't expect such a hostile response. No wonder the hygienist warned me that the dr would force us. Then Dr. Ho proceeded to insult every other dentist that would accept a 3 year old patient who didn't get X-rays. That they were practicing below the standard of care. That interaction didn't feel that the standard of care was high at all. During her tirade, I didn't say one word. Just listened to her go on and on. The aggressiveness & hostility.. so inappropriate. She vehemently said that it was dental standards to get X-rays at age 3. And that by not performing these x-rays, she was forced to practice below standards. My child has no visible cavities, expressed no issues with her mouth, teeth, gums, etc. We expressed absolutely zero issues/concerns. She actually didn't even ask us if my child had any concerns, she was too angry that we simply refused the xray. We were there for just a routine cleaning. Afterwards, I decided to look up what she was talking about to see if it really was that stringent and as dire as she made it out to be. Attached is a picture of American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry's (AAPD's) recommendations on when X-rays should be performed. Similar info by the American Dental Association. Based on the information, it doesn't appear to have been a grave mistake to decline. While she was ranting at me not to come back if we refuse the xray at the next visit, I had already come to that conclusion myself at the beginning of her tirade. All the extra words were unnecessary. Don't worry, I canceled our next appointment immediately before leaving. The unkindness, bullying, negativity were 100% unnecessary. read more

The exceptional care provided to my son and his specific needs by the office staff, dental assistants, and dentists is truly commendable. .

Great office and super nice staff. Everyone was friendly and happy to answer the questions we had.

We started taking our daughter here for her first few visits. So far, we really like the place. It has entertainment for kids though the waiting room is kind of cramped when full. And the wait can be long depending on how busy it is. But the staff is friendly enough and the expertise from the doctor and techs has been helpful. I would recommend this place to my friends and family. read more

I felt SO validated by this dentist. When my son's tooth broke after a bad combination of soft, cozy socks and a smooth hardwood floor resulted in a faceplant, I thought I know exactly what to do. I saved it in a baggie of milk and brought it with us, because it was a clean fracture on a permanent tooth, so I thought perhaps they could just rebond it to his original tooth. We took him to another dentist first, one that catered to "emergency visits". Well, the emergency resulted in X-rays and a referral to a pediatric specialist-- and hope lost for his smile ever being the same. Everything that I did and presented to the last dentist they just kind of laughed off and deemed it unnecessary. They said he'd have to just get a liner and deal with the half tooth until he was older. I cleaned and kept his tooth anyway (sounds so weird to say lol), just as a memento cuz I can't throw things like that away. But then we got sent to Dr. Rachel. And she's like no, you did all the things RIGHT. Go home, get the tooth, put it back in milk, and bring it right back so we can rebond it. 10 minutes after I got back, he walked out with his tooth back together and a full smile once again. The entire office was so kind, so understanding and made sure the entire family was comfortable. If you're looking for a knowledgeable dentist with a bedside manner only moms can have, this is the office for you. read more

The dentists, hygeinists and the front staff here are consistently wonderful. My 5 yr old had been coming here with Dr. Ho since she got her first teeth, and everyone that has worked with her so far are very patient, positive, and really knows what they are doing. The office is clean and feels comfortable. We're called back for appointments on time, and cleanings are quick, gentle, and done with care. Love that they have a lot of creative ways to encourage and comfort the kids to get them to go along with the process and are done without too much stress. That's such a big plus as shes not afraid of coming there to her appointments. They have the ceiling tv's playing kids shows with head phones and a nice waiting area with games and toys to occupy their minds before and during the appointments. As an added treat they give a coin to pick a toy from one of the little prize egg machines at the front. Despite having moved across town, the trip here is always well worth it as they are so good with the kids. read more

Amazing customer service. My son does not like the dentist and needs a little more time to get comfortable with the process.

Forever grateful for their patience, understanding, and support! read more
